Skynet 5, the UK's single biggest space project, is to be extended. The £3.6bn system, which provides secure satellite telecommunications to British armed forces, will be boosted by the addition of a fourth spacecraft.
Skynet 5D will be built in Portsmouth and Stevenage for a launch in 2013, most probably on an Ariane 5 rocket.
